This is an original handmade high-quality twisted Damascus knife from the Montana Territory Knives of Bozeman, Montana. The knife shows a Rocky Mountain Ram horn grip scales with dual turquoise inlays and is one of our more artful knives. The knife blade has been forged from 396 layers of very high quality 1095HC (High Carbon) steel and 15N20 Nickel Carbon which is then heated and folded creating the astounding “Damascus” steel. The knife shows an excellent wave Damascus pattern with immense detail. The hollow grind full tang blade has been paired with this fine wild animal bone scales that are accented by the polished stainless-steel bolster along with four large polished gem quality Turquoise stone inlays, a truly artful addition. The turquoise is both a green/blue typical turquoise with black matrix and an exotic red turquoise with black matrix. The scales are held onto the full tang blade with one large mosaic pin of copper and brass along with three other brass pins. At the end of the handle shows a pierced lanyard hole. The back of the blade tang shows intricate hand done vine file engraving work which artfully accents the already beautiful handmade knife. The blade is a great Every Day Carry (EDC) slight drop point large blade bowie knife. The knife has been paired with a Great American Bison Buffalo leather hand crafted sheath. The knife is in brand new condition and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity along with a Lifetime warranty. The blade is marked with the “MONTANA TERRITORY KNIVES BOZEMAN MONTANA” stamping which shows the outline of Montana. The knife measures overall 8 7/8” in length with the blade being 4.25” long. The sheath measures 8” by 3.5”.
